https://www.thedailybeast.com/vance-credits-charlie-kirks-assassination-for-his-new-baby/Vance says the assassination of Charlie Kirk is the reason he and First Lady Usha Vance decided to have a fourth child.
Vance made the revelation in an excerpt from his forthcoming book that was obtained by the Wall Street Journal, in which he referred to the 31-year-old Kirk as his best friend in politics.
As my wife held Charlie Kirks widow on the first day of her terrible sorrow, Erika told Usha between sobs that she regretted having only two kids with Charlie, Vance writes.
For years, I had asked Usha to have another baby, and for years she had told me she was doneespecially now that public service had elevated us into the national spotlight. But something changed for Usha, and not long after we buried my friend, she became pregnant with our fourth child, a boy.
I dont know why God does things like this, he continued. But I am grateful to Him that there will soon be another source of joy in our lives.

(24,763 posts)I have a list of things that makes me wonder why God does certain things, and Chucky is not on that list.
Basic rule of thumb is that when something happens that the MAGAts want, like an abortion clinic being closed, God did that, so praise Allah, y'all.
But when it's the very important work of Saint Chucky being halted, they don't know why God allowed it, but hey...Vance's baby is a consolation prize.
It's at moments like these, I feel, that the crystal clear reality of "We are not them, and they are not us" is driven home.

(5,244 posts)There was a local family with a fkton of kids who were clients and would hang out there a lot. The dad washed dishes in a small cafe to support his big family. They were poor AF but kept having kids. One day, my husband asked them why they kept having babies they couldn't afford, and the dad said that it was God's will. No mofo, it's your GD DICK that is causing that. Fidots!!!

That's how my baby brother, now 56, came to be.
My parents then had a proper divorce some years later.

Not to mention, when he died, Kirk was 31 and seemed to be surrounded by people younger than him as he led a college age program. Vance was 41 years old.
Kirk was a dropout in his first year at Harper College, which is not even a 4 year college. Vance went to Ohio State followed by a law degree at Yale. Ignoring that Vance does not seem to have a lot of friends.
In 2004, Politico had an article on Vance's inner circle. No Charlie Kirk. https://www.politico.com/interactives/2024/jd-vance-inner-circle-guide/. In August 2025, the Independent had an article on his best friends in MAGA - this was a month before Kirk was killed.- again he wasn't listed. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-maga-best-friends-b2811983.html
I wonder if Vance, in the wake of Kirk's death, wanted to be seen as his "heir"? If so, very sick.

Is Erika the actual mother and Usha just carrying the fetus to make a new Chuck?
